  • What is his full name in English?

    He could be a star on youtube.

    Awesome.

    May be you can you can use the title

    "A foreigner singing Chinese Opera Perfectly"

    Did he won the contest?

  • Hi,I don't know his full name, I will check and tell u. I can't say he sing perfectly cuz his pronunciation still need to be refined. Anyway, for a foreign friend it's really great! Even Chinese especially from north cannot pronunce correctly or sing so well.

  • 太棒了!

  • @iysum

    His name is William Boyd and there are a number of articles about him online. He is married to a Chinese woman and she and her family taught him several Jiangnan-area dialects, which he apparently picked up very quickly. He's quite a talent.

  • @zjlzz I hope everyone will not have this "foreign moon is rounder" attitude. While one westerner can speak & sing in Chinese, think about thouands of Asians can speak & sing in fluent English !!

  • excellent,his accent is perfect

    

  • Well, obviously, he's NOT a foreigner. He must have lived in China, and exposed to life there, in his early years.

    ASo, people, he may look Western, but inside in his heart, he's Chinese.

    That's what it seems to me.

  • 崔永元做过他的节目耶,他太太是上海人,他们在中国开了间搞动漫­的公司!

  • Great.:) We should know Shanghai language is most difficult in the world. Haha. Even I can not understand. Because they will not tell you all. :)

  • wow he actually sings it realy well!

    i expected him to just memorise some words but he actually knows the intricate singing techniques for this type of opera

  • I never thought that the YueJu would be that beautiful till I heard William's perform. The most beautiful song I've heard recently. Thanks for the post.
